I'm not sure which question this will address (if it does at all), but I'm very intrigued about the connection between our "incarnational ambivalence" and the triumphant/superiority complex so many of our churches live out of. To put it another way, we don't want a God that suffers, weeps and dies on a cross - we want a God that always wins, destroys everyone opposed, and really kicks some ass (see Mark Driscoll)!<br /><br />Seldom do we see places of suffering, neglect, and injustice as the very place where God is and where God’s people are called to be. We see them as places to overcome. We see them as people to change. We see them as sad situations that need our help.<br /><br />What if we challenged our churches to go to those places of suffering, neglect, and injustice not simply because they need our help, but rather, through the incarnation we have discovered that these are the very places that we find God? Blessed are those that mourn, blessed are the meek, blessed are the pure in heart…Ben Rieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159047488144012406noreply@blogger.com
